That's an air vent/spout for the headlight. There's one on the back of each headlight, at the tops, at the outer corner of the back of the unit.

Allows air transfer to avoid condensation and the mesh keeps critters out.

Part # 3...

It looks like a vent tube of somekind. Maybe the transmission.

I originally said "bottom", but I think they're more towards the tops.

If it's a part that's red anodized aluminum, I'll know you ripped it off Gene's bike..........

Rigor had a little practice playing this game before. Someone showed up on his doorstep asking "WTF are these?" many moons ago and it only took him a few secs to give said person the answer.
